Description
The Babolat Xcel Gel X1 is a premium replacement grip built for players who want maximum cushioning and comfort straight from the frame — no overgrip needed. It uses Babolat's Advanced Comfort System: a tacky polyurethane elastomer outer layer combined with an absorbent non-woven casing, cushioned EVA foam, and a central gel band that acts as the core of the vibration-dampening system. Together they deliver plush comfort, high absorption, and excellent durability. At 2.6 mm thickness — the thickest replacement grip Babolat offers — it noticeably increases grip size and rounds off the bevels, making it ideal for players with larger hands or anyone who wants to build up a smaller frame. Length: 115 cm / 45.3 in. Weight: ~18-25 g. Recommended for tournament players seeking to minimise physical strain and club players who value a luxurious, cushioned feel on every shot.
